Frequently Asked Questions

So, you're thinking about learning to line dance..... Good decision! Go for it! What have you got to lose?

​But maybe you're a bit nervous about your first class; will I be any good? What if I go wrong? Don't worry, we don't make mistakes in line dancing, we call them "variations".

​However, you may have a few questions. I have listed a few, but if I haven't answered yours, get in touch.

​Do I need a partner? No! If you want to come with a friend or your other half, no problem, the more the merrier. But you don't need anyone to dance with, line dancing is done without a partner. And you will make friends in the class, so you don't need to bring moral support with you - we don't bite, honest!

​Do I need any special equipment?No! Just wear clothes you can move about in, and more importantly, shoes you can dance in (no high heels, stilettos or sling backs/flip flops please, for your own safety. Also, please check your soles won't mark the dance floor, thanks!) If you find that you love line dancing, at a later stage you may want to invest in some dance shoes, but it isn't necessary. Also, it's a good idea to bring a drink with you (water, squash etc) to replace the fluids you will sweat out.

​I have an injury/restricted movement - can I still dance? Obviously this will depend on your own personal circumstances, but I would generally say yes! Line dancing can be done at a very low impact level (although you can make it a work out if you want to) so it's really up to you and how much you want to do it. I know several people who are line dancing in their 80s and beyond. I also know of people who have difficulty in doing the turns because of dizziness (this is at improver/intermediate level) but the turns can usually be taken out or the dance adapted to suit the dancer. If you want to chat about your abilities, please do give me a call (07724 119854) otherwise, just turn up and give it a go - you never know til you try!​Please note: the dance studio in Burns Fitness on Tuesdays, is upstairs. The stairs are wide and have a hand rail.

​Will I be any good at it? As a beginner you will make "variations", it's inevitable. But then, we all do from time to time, even me! Just smile and carry on. What's the worst that can happen?! As a general guide, I would suggest giving it a go for at least six weeks to give yourself time to learn enough to know if line dancing is really your thing.

​Can I go to other classes? Please do! The more you practice, the better your dancing will be. And don't just go to our classes, try others in the area too.

​How do I find the class? Where can I park? The postcode is on the classes page, along with details of the times etc. There is a free car park at Manselton (please park sensibly to allow room for others to come later).

​How much do classes cost? Classes cost £5. Pay once and stay as long as you like (until we go home that is!)

Do you teach at parties/hen nights etc? Absolutely! Give me a call or send a message via the contact page, so we can discuss.

​I hope this has answered any questions you have, but if it hasn't, please get in touch. Above anything else, we would love to see more people line dancing, it's such a great way to keep fit, keep your mind active and have fun! Hope to see you on the dance floor soon!
